A Year at Chartwell: With World-Class Speakers
I joined Chartwell Speakers as a Managing Agent just over one year ago, after a decade as Director of Communications for Bear Grylls. My first year at Chartwell has been eye-opening and deeply rewarding. It is a privilege to work with such a diverse group of powerful voices. The speakers we represent challenge assumptions, inspire fresh thinking, and spark real change.
I have organised speaking engagements across sectors including financial services, healthcare, technology and media, with events in India, Mauritius, Sweden, France, Spain, Croatia and throughout the United Kingdom.
Below is a small snapshot of some of the speakers I arranged engagements for over the past 12 months.
